Lynx are solitary cats who only interact when they breed. Mating pairs can form for several years. The mother finds a den or covered area and raises the kittens by herself like most cats.

They live in cold climates tht are mostly mountainous terrain and tundra. There is a direct link between snowshoe hare populations (their main prey) and Canadian Lynx populations. The Lynx uses it's exceptional hearing to find prey beneath the snow. they are exceptional at stalking, often pouncing on prey in one swoop. Although they are almost etirrely dependent on the snowshoe hare, they will eat other small mammels such as squirrels, birds, and grouse. In one instance in Colorado, a lynx leaped and snagged a woodpecker from a tree trunk

For a wild cat, they actually can be alright pets. However,LYNX ARE NOT PETS, so really research the question if you think about owning a Lynx, Bobcat, Cougar, Tiger, Serval, or any other exotic cat. If you love cats, you'll realize that you should not own one (except for the standard domestics). In captivity Lynx can live up to 25 years.

• They spray (no matter how early you nueter them).
• They need a large amount of space and lots of enrichment activities.
  
• They usually only bond with only their owner (thats if they were hand reared correctly in the first place) and hide from guests.
  
• Often they have digestive and a host of other health problems.
• Frequently, a pet Lynx will not eat if someone other than the owner is feeding it. So be prepared to not go on vacation for 25 years.
• It is illegal in most states to own one, and permits can be a pain in the stub.
• Food and Healthcare costs are much greater than you think. Even the initial investment can be a healthy sum of money.

Perhaps someday breeders will develop a line of tame Lynx, but for now, it is better that they just roam the wilderness terrerizing bunnies and other little critters.
